SUMMARY
Today there is ranging controversy all over the world as to its legal standing aside from the moral and ethical issues involved. Having seen that the law is not unprepared to reexamine former rigid attitude toward the sanctity of life those in favour of Euthanasia exhibit some zeal in supporting their views (Vij Krishan, 2008). The opponents of Euthanasia state that there are moral, religious and ethical obligations which cannot be ignored. They argue that no one has right to take away the life of an individual not even individual him or herself. The concept of sanctity of life is inviolable and doctors having taken an oath (The Hippocratic oath) “to preserve life at all cost” cannot justify a patient to die or passive means (Pillay, 2010). Euthanasia is may be good for the person who is really in a severe pain but at same side it may be dangerous if advantage is taken in wrong way, so it is must necessary that it should be done in a supervision with the rules. However, the result of implication of euthanasia needs to be reexamined again at regular intervals depending upon the evolution of society with regard to providing health care to disabled and terminally ill patients. The survey results will help in forming rules of euthanasia.
